Listen to the ennui of a directionless 45 year old, unsure of what to do next! Can you relate? Can you offer any advice? Sounds 'fun' eh? x

As we ease out of Lockdown, I'm trying to get back into the practice of recording and releasing more of these. This, as the title suggests (!!) is just a brain dump I recorded basically because I'm procrastinating going for a run! I didn't really have a topic to discuss and just hit record and saw what came out! I mainly speak about the blissful return to gigging and what that means to me, and how having this back in my life makes me realise how much, to me, it's almost as essential as breathing. I'm also on the look out for people to talk to on here, so get in touch!! Mike :-)

WWEGTM #012 My Mummy! by Mike Vaughan

Forgive the hyperbolic title, but one's gotta grab people's attention!! This is a continuation of Episode #009, where we discussed my Top 5 Tips For Coping With COVID Lockdowns. In this episode I expand upon that and suggest 7 little daily things we can do that will start a little daily ritual that will hopefully build a strong foundation of positive energy and feelings of self worth that will enable us to build upon and move towards our goals, feeling more energised and positive about ourselves. Give it a go, they are 7 tiny things can be be done in minutes but that could really help, especially in these challenging times. Give 'em a go, and I'll see you on the otherside 💕

I had an amazing conversation with Patrick/Paddy/Panny Conner of The Sturmey Archers fame and we covered a huge breadth of topics. the main points, though, were what does 'success' mean, are you a musician or an artist? Both? One more than the other, or on the spectrum of both. We discuss so much it's hard to sum up[ in a pithy paragraph, but I really think any creatives will get something from this.

This is the first podcast under the new name 'Will We Ever Get To Mars'. I discuss the reasons for the name change and the direction and goals for the new Podcast.

Just me talking for 55 minutes ;-) about various subjects, but mainly centred around the topics in the title. This was spurred on by watching several videos of protests and fights in Berklee and Portland Oregon between people on the 'right' and 'left'. :-S

Watch me and my noggin go for a spin, get caught in several spirals and then become submerged in confusion about my left and right ;-) And a phone call from my mum. And various other revelries. :-)

New Podcast with just me talking about the potential new format of Audio Only, to test whether the iTunes link is still active, and to discuss what is 'normal'? :-) x
